Used tire tread question

Hello All,

I was looking at purchasing a set of used MTs. I will only be driving my 4runner on weekends. The guy said that these BFG MT KM2 have around 30% treadlife on them, but they look pretty worn. He is asking $150 OBO.

265/75/R16

Thoughts?

Thanks

they do look really close to the tread wear indicators in the pic in my opinion. are rims included?
In my exp I have never been happy with used tires I purchased from private parties... perhaps suggest to met at a local tire shop and have them balence the tires prior to the purchase, checking for patches, valve condition & what not aswell.

Yea, I hear ya. The Jeep rims do come with them, but I would be putting on factory 4runner rims.

I think I'm going to pass...

Thanks for the info.
